Foster: son of John of Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, cler., MERTON matric. 8 Mar. 1765 aged 19; BA 1768; BALLIOL MA 1771; WORCESTER College BD 1781
(Foster adds with a ? R of Rynalton, Glamorganshire 1796 until his death 1834. That is most likely an error. (CCED ID 129406 given as R of Reynoldston, Glam. for these dates - that is probably same as Rynalton, but date of death there - 1834 - doesn't fit with 26777 who died in 1804). Further error is that James Edwards is also given as ceding at Ashelworth in 1815 (after dying in 1804) - this likely to be an error for the next incumbent Thomas Johnes who succeeded Edwards in 1804 and ceded in 1815. Also church records mentioning Ashworth may more likely be Ashleworth)
